COMPETITION RULES
The IOF Foot Orienteering Competition Rules 2010 and the Italian Orienteering Federation (FISO) rules will be applied in both competitions. Maps will be drawn according to ISSOM standard for the sprint competition and ISOM standard for long distance competition.
TERRAIN DESCRIPTION
Sprint: it will be mixed, as the runners will be challenged by two different kinds of terrain. Both a fast forest alternated by open areas and characterized by the presence of many paths and typical italian urban terrain, comprising a detailed pattern of narrow streets in the centre of the village (closed to traffic) will be visited. Fast map reading and decision making as well as the ability to handle typical sprint route choices will be keys for success!
Long: the forest, namely "Alpe di Monghidoro", is located at an altitude between 800 and 1200 metres above sea level. Gentle forms are alternated to steeper slopes; both land forms and rocky features characterize the most detailed areas. Runnability is generally good, apart some thicker areas. Visibility can vary from very good to reduced, depending on the different types of vegetation (both beech and conifers are present).
Two brand new maps will be drawn for the event!
